Really Funny how PLITT had the theatre districts divided up,Atlanta a Large City much,Much larger than Knoxville,Tenn., but Atlanta was in the Knoxville District.In 1983,all Atlanta locations were in the K-town District and Knoxville only had Three screens in 1983,Oh well, so it goes.

When those carbon arcs were pulled out of Theatres across the country that is when the theatre Business ended as most of old theatre dawgs know, It wasn’t long before the platters showed up,Owner quickly realized a 17 year old could be trained to thread a film.No cue marks.No Carbons to adjust,so Who needed a union man in the booth. I saw it happen and I wanted NO part of it.Kids ran the booth and I bet in 90 per cent of the booths today are that way,but what the heck,Films are like Dvd’s now.Film is a thing of the past. Thanks Nick and Tis for caring.

Could the name have been changed to Starlite Drive-in. I have that Drive-in in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac,but no NORTHSIDE?
